Published 4 months, 1 week ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' at ya live from the edge of the Big O on this crisp December 20th mornin'. Lake Okeechobee's lookin' prime today with NE winds at 5-10 knots keepin' the waters light chop, per the National Weather Service forecast. Sunrise hit around 7:22 AM and sunset's at 6:47 PM, givin' ya a solid 11+ hours of fishin' daylight. Solunar charts from Tides4Fishing show high activity today, so expect peak bites around dawn, dusk, and moonrise.
Bass are fired up post the Major League Fishing Pro Circuit opener—largemouths hammerin' vibrating jigs like the Z-Man/Evergreen ChatterBait Jack Hammer in clearwater shad, paired with Reaction Innovations Little Dipper. Flip or pitch soft stickbaits too: Bass Pro Shops 6-inch Stik-O Worm in black/blue, Zoom Magnum Ultravibe Speed Worm in junebug, or Strike King Ocho in black/blue flake on 3/8-oz tungsten. Frogs and topwaters are hot from Roland Martin Outdoors updates, especially Spro frogs over lily pads. Crappie and bluegill bitin' strong on spinnerbaits and live minnows or shiners, says the Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report podcast. Recent catches? Day-one leader Jim Neece Jr. sacked 27 pounds north of King's Bar, Chris Lane pitched worms to Pelican Bay for top-five, and West Wall pros like Bill McDonald and Miles Burghoff flipped grubs like Z-Man Goat Twin Tail in black/blue for spawners. Note: DOH-Palm Beach flagged blue-green algae December 16-17, so fillet and cook fish good.
Hit these hot spots: West Wall outta Clewiston for reed heads and isolated clumps, or north end near Kissimmee River entrance for river-run bass. Shiners on docks for 'gills too.
Water's comin' up slight, tides influencin' canals like L-8 with Palm Beach lows around 2:40 AM and 3:04 PM at 0.4 ft.
Rig up and get after 'em—Big O don't sleep!
